Mandrik's flat statement that readers had just lived through the worst event in Bitcoin's history. Registered as one dated instance of the ranking claim that circulated widely in the first week. Attribution totals differ and the number of people affected is unknown, so the archive treats the ranking as contemporaneous assessment rather than a settled fact.

This post is registered as evidence and has a locally held capture. The original remains the canonical publication.
